It’s true that Claude Code will continue to suggest further things to do, seemingly forever. But I’ve never had an issue making the call of “this is good enough” or “that’s not necessary right now”. If you have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish, it’s easy to get a task 100% completely done with just a few prompts. There’s only a paradox if you don’t have a clear end state in mind and let the agent continually move the goal post of what “done” means.

I'm with you. It's just that I'd had enough conversations with the bot interrupted by "honest caveats" and "actual gaps" that I needed to vent, and then felt the irrational desire to intellectualize said venting.

It inspired the plugin, so ya know, it wasn't a complete waste.

Opus 4.8 would say "it's done now". 5.0 just keeps suggesting more and more changes with diminishing returns.
